Other Passing Techniques

Bounce Pass If you are being watched by a tall opponent or the opponent has raised his hands to block the shot, look for a chest pass or an overhead pass. The route is very difficult. In this situation, the best pass is a bounce pass. A bounce pass bounces off the floor to the receiver.

(1) When you see the receiver indicating a rebound pass, you should immediately bend your knees and pass the ball to him. The landing point of the ball must be clear, and the ball should rebound two-thirds of the way between it and the player receiving the ball. Sometimes you will encounter a ground ball, which slides past the ground at a faster speed.

(2) If you are the receiver, you should indicate the location of the ball and always pay attention to the opponent's movement. Bounce passes are slower than other passes, so they are more likely to be intercepted by opponents.

If you want to get the ball and you have seen a passing route from your opponent, you should extend your hands forward and downward to signal your teammates to bounce the ball.
